A Voice

Ahsan Talha

What is it? a voice loud and clear.
Your voice - aah! your voice I hear.

A piercing pitched yet twittering ballad of cheers.
Which hurts my timid heart, not ears.

Squishy eyes, dark circles, smudgy smears.
And traces of cuff-wiped tears.

It is all I had before you my dear.
It is all I will get from you I fear.

Murmured after trying an annum to get you near.
Adiós, au revoir, Allah Hafiz till next year.
